Visiting Angel Tucker on his Birthday

Our two-legged momma and daddy thought we should have a little ceremony at Angel Tucker's grave on his birthday October 26th. Momma took the camera outside and tried to get pictures of all three of us paying our respects. Well as you can see if you zoom in on the last picture, Charlie and I were more concerned about our tennis balls, but we did each with him Happy Birthday in our own way. Oh, the yellow flowers are over our Angel Charmin's grave. If you're new to my blog you won't know this, but she went over the Rainbow Bridge on July 7, 2009.

The first one to visit was Libby. She was more curious about what Momma was doing than anything else.

 Then Charlie came by for a visit. He's kinda mad at Tucker for leaving him the only boy in the house.

 Then I came by, but I'm so fast that Momma only got me as I was leaving the scene.

 Now click on the picture below to see what Charlie and I were REALLY interesting in doing!

Sadness over the loss of my brother Tucker

My famous big (but littler than me) brother Tucker crossed over that Rainbow Bridge this morning and is now running and wagging his tail, probably drinking all the water under the bridge. He's with my big angel sister Charmin and they're having a blast. Why do I feel so sad then? Probably because my humans have wet faces and they're dragging their feet. My humomma is making my hudaddy a special Charlie Brown fleece pillow that he can squeeze when he wants to remember Tucker. He'll be very tired after digging that whole in the ground next to Angel Charmin. I wish Libby and I could help him dig, but they taught us very well and we don't dig... well I don't anyway. Libby digs trying to find the mice under the deck and she gets in trouble. Maybe Daddy will let her help him. Momma is going to create a very special memorial celebration slide show this weekend and will post it on Tucker's blog after her eyes are dry enough to see again. It hurts me to watch her so sad and I follow her around and touch her hand with my nose. She seems to like that.

Libby and I on an outing at Paws at the Park

On Saturday Libby and I got to go play and prance around at Paws at the Park, an annual fundraiser for the shelter where we were both rescued by our humans. It's a really special day for us because we get to see so many other four-leggeds and show off our spunk. Our humans thought that I, Katie, needed to be exercised (really they said, "worn out") before going to the party, so I got to go play in the Dog Park while Libby went on the walk with our daddy. Here's some video of me playing catch with a nice little boy who has a really strong throwing arm, unlike my weak momma who can't throw a ball more than about ten feet.

Here we are with our nice bandannas on riding in the car, so excited to get there.

and me in the Dog Park with that nice boy playing catch

I thought this guy was gonna take my ball, so I ran really fast!

then the boy thought it was time for a drink

but I just wanted the ball!

then we went to the party and met up with daddy and Libby (oh that's my two-legged sister's legs and feet. Doesn't she look great after losing almost 60 pounds?!?! WOOF!!!)

and finally, the two princesses in the carriage with our momma and daddy.

Awesome rescue dog on Britain's Got Talent - even Simon loved it!

A great act!

 This dog is a rescued dog and is so talented!  

 Look at the face of this dog as she looks at her partner.

Supper time!

My little big brother, Tucker just posted a video of supper time at our house tonight on his blog. Go take a look here!

A hail storm in Kansas!

Watch as Libby and I tell that thunder who's the boss!

Peanut butter and a nap

Tonight our humomma emptied a big peanut butter jar (plastic of course) and after Charlie got a taste and left it alone Miss Libby snuck over for a lick. She used her paws really well for holding it down, but it kept sliding away anyway and she soon grew tire of it. Then.....

I, Katie, got it!  But you see, I'm a pretty smart cookie and quickly grabbed it by the neck and carried it away to my secret hiding spot on the futon! As RR would say.... YUM-O!!!!

ps. just to prove that Libby and I are friends, here's a picture of us dog-spooning.
